The protesters, carrying pro-Palestine placards, chanted slogans against Israel and called upon the international community to intervene in the matter for safeguarding the lives of the people of Palestine.
More protests are expected to be held after Wednesday's demonstration in Karachi by people from different walks of life across the country.
The protest came at a time when tensions between Israel and Palestine have reportedly left hundreds killed and injured.
Earlier this week, the government announced to observe a Palestine Solidarity Day on May 21 to register its protest against Israel's attacks.
